Alternative Learning System – Education and Skills Training (ALS-EST) Coordination Meeting with Implementating Partners

The Alternative Learning System (ALS), a flagship program of the Department of Education (DepEd), is offering non-formal education to out-of-school Filipino youth and adults who have failed to complete basic education (i.e. school drop-outs). Being one of the Secretary’s priority projects, ALS is included in the Ten-Point agenda to intensify DepEd’s efforts for extensive positive outcomes on ALS by better targeting of beneficiaries, broader coverage, prioritization of these program by implementing units, partnerships, and modalities that would fit the circumstances of target learners.
